The new exterior and interior style of the 2016 Honda Civic is far better than the previous generation of Civics. This was a major consideration in the purchase of my car. The 2016 Civic is also very fun and comfortable to drive. For a Civic, the interior is extremely spacious. The fuel economy was another significant factor in the purchase of my car. The Civic has excellent gas mileage. I typically get around 45 mpg on the highway with the Econ button turned on. I'm very happy with my purchase of the 2016 Honda Civic!

"I've been greatly disappointed by the many, many glitches of the infotainment system in this vehicle"

David»OH»2016 Honda CivicPurchased Jan 2016|Verified

This has been the most disappointing vehicle to own I have ever had (in 25+ years of driving). The electronics simply suck... I have had all sorts of problems with the vehicle... false maintenance minders for an oil change, false brake and other important item failure warnings for no reason, no audiosound at all (fixed more than once, now), loud popping noises that could easily ruin my speakers, false brake warnings with my brakes slamming without my control and without anything in front of me (impossible to reproduce - just give it a couple of months and it'll happen again)... just... disappointing. I don't let people ride with me. I don't trust the car with others' lives.

I've been greatly disappointed by the many, many glitches of the infotainment system in this vehicle. It has been very frustrating and Honda has not been at all helpful. I would not recommend my car to others, and when they point out my new car and want to see it, I blow it off, as I fear I will be embarrassed by one of the car's glitches.

"I certainly appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback on my new car"

Athena»WV»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Jun 2016|Verified

I certainly enjoy my new Honda Civic even though it is maybe more car than I need technology-wise. I wanted a trustworthy car to take me in to retirement, and my other Civic was a road-running machine but eight years old. The fuel economy is superior to my previous Civic, and I do appreciate that. It is also has better pick-up with the turbo, which is helpful for back road and interstate driving. This purchase was a smart one for me. I know I can depend on the brand and have had good interactions with Hagerstown Honda.
In terms of improvements, here are a few suggestions:
1. The interior fabric at the doors, in the door handle area, seems inferior to my '08 Civic. It is thin and smudges way too easily for a new car and has a dull appearance already.
2. The driver's seat is not comfortable for me even though I am not heavy or tall. The power seat should be available with the turbo regardless of the seat fabric. I did not want the additional cost of the leather, but a car as special as the turbo should have a power seat included since this model is not bottom of the line. The seat needs to sit higher and flatter with the back rest less curved. Honda seats are a detraction for me.
3. The heating/cooling controls are not helpful in their current position. I would rather have the radio controls there. It is awkward to scroll the sound on the screen or on the steering wheel. Often I am turning the steering, and the controls are upside down! Also having to touch the screen to adjust the sound distracts from safe driving, and the same is true to adjust the climate controls on the screen.
4. The AM/FM radio reception is inferior to XM. Although I enjoyed the free service the first few months, I do not believe in having to pay for radio; therefore, I did not renew the service. It truly is rather expensive. When I listen to broadcast, the stations are not as clear as my previous Civic radio; this, of course, is rather disappointing.
5. The handling seems a little loose with so much extra power.
6. Last, I don't like having to turn on the engine if I have to roll up windows or close the sun roof.
I certainly appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback on my new car. The Civic is a tremendous car!

The new Civic is sporty, zippy, and fun to drive. The turbo is very noticeable compared to my '08. The body style is eye-catching. So far, the gas mileage is looking good for a combination of city and highway. I have two concerns: the interior fabric is not very substantial compared to the '08. I'm not sure if it will hold up for 8+ years. Please redesign your seats. They are truly uncomfortable and sit too low to the floor, even with the manual adjustment. I am neither fat nor short. The radio controls are not convenient on the steering wheel or the touchscreen. Why did you put the Heat/AC controls on a knob? The AM/FM radio is of a lesser quality than my '08. I can't get my regular stations clearly, and I don't believe in paying for radio stations. I am very disappointed.

"My 15-year-old Honda trade-in had better sound quality"

Elizabeth»CA»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Jul 2016|Verified

Safe choice, good reputation, reliable, meets overall family need, economical, service easy to find, maintenance is not a burden, generally good mileage, good value for cars of this size and type, not the most comfortable, luxurious, or high performing, not the car to create a prestige impression.

Updated on Nov 3, 2016

Front fender/bumper doesn't have enough ground clearance. I live in mountains, fender is too low, gets little dents and scratches beneath. Even low parking curbs don't clear. Should be built of sturdier material like old Hondas—I never dented or scratched hard rubber. Interior fabric on armrests, console, door interiors, headliner is very thin and a poor choice. It is going to wear quickly and make the car look old before its time. I hate all black interior, but that was all I could get. Radio static on local FM is terrible, but I have not had time to get it into service. New cars should have excellent sound in 2016—that should be a no-brainer. My 15-year-old Honda trade-in had better sound quality.

Originally Reviewed on Sep 17, 2016

I like my car very much, and I really had to get a new car at that time. We have had four Hondas and been overall happy with the brand. It was really a foregone conclusion that we would buy it, but I did research anyway some other car. But I have problems that did not exist in my previous 15 yr old Honda. First: I bought silver car w/ black interior. The black plush-textured interior absorbs so much light so I cannot see to find anything when I am in the driver seat (console, glove compartment, passenger side and seat, door side compartments are like black holes and USB PORTS are invisible). I would never willingly choose black interior, but it was the only color available on the models I looked at. Change it to mid-gray. I bought gray seat covers in order to see my purse, notebook, phone and other items that I typically carry in passenger seat. Second: The fabric cover on the door and the console will wear thin and look terrible in a short period of time. Armrests, console and side of doors always take a lot of abrasion. There was even a visible abrasion mark when I bought the car and it only had four miles on it. This seems like a serious miscalculation to me. If the fabric cover is supposed to seem more luxurious it is a huge miss—it will soon look cheaply made. Third, my FM radio has a lot of static, which was not a problem on our other Hondas. I will take it to service to see if there are loose wires—it's very disappointing. I live 30 minutes from nearest dealer where I bought the car so I haven't had a chance to get over there yet to check it out. Finally, there was no printed manual so I could look things up. The quick start guide gets you off the lot but it is otherwise inadequate. I sent for the printed manual but have not received it, now about 6-7 weeks later. I think this is very poor, very slow service. A computer w/ disk drive is rarely accessible: people use tablets and new laptops don't have disk drive. Wifi is not cheaply and widely available except to people who pay heavy data fees to be on their phone all day, which is not the case for me. Honda should at least OFFER a printed owner manual at point of sale and should also OFFER buyer a feature demo before they drive away. Yesterday I bumped the right side mirror out of position, and I couldn't get it back into correct position—very unsafe for the rest of my one-hour drive in commute traffic. FYI: I didn't buy the Civic w/navigation b/c of higher price, which I did not feel was justified.

"Sales experience was great although i wish now that I had bought instead of leased .."

Diana»NJ»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Jan 2016|Verified

The old adage is, never buy the beta version. I love my Honda Civic, completely redesigned model year, but there were annoying connectivity problems at first. Still, the performance,appearance and reliability of this vehicle plus its stylish and smart appearance made it a perfect choice for me. I drive a lot for work and leisure, and I love the color and interior leather finish. Sales experience was great although i wish now that I had bought instead of leased ... i won't make that mistake 5 years from now :-) I am a faithful Honda owner for over 40 years and my loyalty has been justified by the excellence of all the vehicles I hve owned. The last one went 14 years ...

Updated on Apr 27, 2016

Perfect car for me - virtually always driving alone, long and medium trips are routine, like to listen tp music in the car, etc. EXCEPT for (1) the driver seat is a little awkward for someone 5'2" toget ito and out of, and (2) the continuing connectivity problems. My new car does not have built-in GPS, and i agreed to this based on the promise of being able to use the GPS in my Samsung smartphone. In early days the connection to navigation was constantly being dropped, sometimes while I was navigating within a busy city. Connectivity improved after the service dept. reset my system and i myself learned some "tweaks" (this is not in any manual, but the connection only works if you use the original USB cable that came with the phone itself). However the connection has now mysteriously been lost yet again and i am going to have to leave the car for several hours to find the source of the problem (my phone is on the car manufacturer's list of compatible devices). There are only one or two technicians locally who understand the connectivity issue and may be able to fix it. The manufacturer's national "help" service failed to respond to emails I sent asking for help. I drive a lot for work and this is a serious inconvenience. I am holding onto my old discrete TomTom GPS in case this problem can't be properly resolved, a huge disappointment if i have to stop using my phone for navigation. Ask me again in 6 months.

I love the look, feel, comfort, driveability and gas mileage of my new car, and the selection and leasing experience was enjoyable and satisfactory - however, as this point, within the first month after buying it, i am very disappointed with the connectivity of my 2016 Civic. I was persuaded to buy a car that does not have its own GPS (only comes in the top priced model with features i don't want or need) on the basis that my (fully functional Samsung) smartphone could connect for navigation, etc. The phone disconnects constantly - dropping me out of navigation - while driving, and so far i have had no response at all from the dealer. I loved my old non-digital car, it was time fir a change but ... this was disappointing.

"After driving for a few months, I've noticed that it's a little more difficult to get the car to 'play nice' with Android Auto/..."

John»MD»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Aug 2016|Verified

It's a safe and reliable care - it's from Honda so it shouldn't have any foreseeable problems. I like the comfort of the car and the ease where everything is placed. It makes logical sense where all of the controls and functions are located. The ride is comfortable, i think more due to the seats than the ride, as it does get a little bumpy at times. All and all I think it was worth the money. The level of technology in the car is excellent. The touch screen is nice; however, I'd caution using it or the 'swipe' type of steering wheel control to adjust the volume. Regarding the swipe feature, It's a little bit of a pain when I take a corner or accidentally move my hand on the wheel and the volume blasts up or down. I would make it a push-button only. The touchscreen volume increase makes me take my eyes off the road too long to make sure i'm hitting it right - i'm really not comfortable using it.
I'd also like some increased functionality of items in the car when the vehicle is in motion. For example, (this may be app specific) but when my fiance' is in the car searching music on the touchscreen it will occasionally tell her that the vehicle screen can no longer scroll because the vehicle is in motion. It's makes sense if there is one person in the car, but the car can carry multiple people - so it's a little annoying when it 'locks up' on a person in the passenger seat.

Overall, I am not hugely concerned with style when I purchased my vehicle, but I'm happy to say that I do like it. After driving for a few months, I've noticed that it's a little more difficult to get the car to 'play nice' with Android Auto/Android phones. I've run into an issue or two, which could simply be me not understanding of the system.
I'm also not used to the CVT transmission, as it is my first of this particular type. It could be normal, but i'm slightly unnerved by the shifting at low speeds (e.g. stop and go traffic) as it feels a little rough.
Those negatives aside, It's a fun little car that greatly enjoy. It's safe and incredibly comfortable for a car that size. I thought about going bigger/more expensive, but this car fits my needs at this point and it is very well made.

"Backup camera and blind spot camera add safety, apps and technology"

I love the new 2016 Honda Civic. So far it has been a great and reliable car. Some features I like include: very roomy and comfortable for a Civic, good acceleration and offers a Sport mode for faster speed when needed. Great gas mileage (I get on average about 36 mpg and 45 mpg on the highway with economy feature). Sleek design for exterior and interior, large amount of trunk space for a Civic. Smooth drive with CVT. Great sound system, very crisp and clear. Capless refueling system makes refueling easier. Comfortable, plush cloth seats. Backup camera and blind spot camera add safety, apps and technology.

I am very disappointed in the Honda Civic 2016. My previous 2013 Honda Civic was excellent. The dashboard panel was located in a better place than the 2016. I was able to receive text messages. I cannot get text messages in the 2016. (I have the same phone as I did with the 2013) The bluetooth in the 2013 was easier to operate and better. I was able to have a choice of wallpaper in the 2013 but not in this vehicle. Also the passenger seat is very low and there is no availability to boost it up. As a passenger in this car, it feels like I am sitting on a slant. I don't like the location of the truck opening. I would rather have it on the floor instead of on the door. As far as performance and gas mileage, the 2016 is better. However, I wish I still had the 2013!

I am very disappointed in the updated features added to my 2016 Honda Civic. I would never use the brake-hold (waste of a feature). The passenger seat is lower than my previous 2013 Civic. I wish the passenger seat had a "pump up" feature. I don't like the speedometer read out (preferred the 2013 version). I don't like the emergency brake in this car. I prefer the old fashion emergency brake feature. I also feel I should be able to just put air in my tires and not go through a calibration list. I do feel the ride and pick up on the 2016 is much improved.

"I would let them know that there are glitches in my vehicle with Bluetooth technology and CarPlay"

Betty»CA»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Nov 2015|Verified

I would let them know that there are glitches in my vehicle with Bluetooth technology and CarPlay. I would also let them know it does not have a glove compartment lock, which is crucial because I've already had my registration stolen at a car wash and had to repurchase it. I would also let them know they don't sell the glove box lock separately so they are out of luck. One other thing is that the doors placement and trunk placement does not fit snugly so if it rains or I'm getting the car washed water seeps into my car. I've tried to get it handled by Honda, but they can't or won't do anything about it. Otherwise I love everything else about this car. Hopefully the next model has these issues fixed. I purchased two Honda Civic Touring's. One is black but I settled for it and did not want that color.

Great vehicle for the money. Seats not the most comfortable seats. Great features, technology. Good cornering while not sacrificing highway ride. Good acceleration while not sacrificing mileage. Needs more comfortable seats and/or lumbar support. Other than that, nice job!

Cons: no lumbar support, headrest is too far forward, I would prefer a little more resistance in the gas and brake pedals. Pros: everything else. I'm amazed that the car: is fuel efficient yet has great acceleration; corners very well yet has a smooth quiet highway ride. As an older driver (61) I'm thankful for the ACC, Lane Keeping assist and emergency automatic braking.

"Because of this experience I am not sure if I will ever consider Honda as a viable purchase choice in the future"

Charlene»NV»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Dec 2015|Verified

I have a love-hate relationship with the vehicle I recently purchased. I love the way it drives, the MPG, the vehicle appearance, and the upgraded sound system, however Honda has had significant problems with the new vehicle that has caused my car to be in for servicing numerous times in the eight months I have owned the vehicle. this has never happened to me in my past, and I purchase new vehicles ever 3-5 years. I am disappointed in the way Honda has treated the problem. The only high note is the senior tech support individual I have dealt with has been delightful. I think when Honda releases a vehicle with inherent problems they should compensate early adopters for the inconvenience and disappointment in their new car. Because of this experience I am not sure if I will ever consider Honda as a viable purchase choice in the future. Supposedly the problems are fixed, but only time will tell. And after eight months of annoying problems I am not feeling too confident. I am very disappointed in Honda. Every month I make my payments, while driving a vehicle that has not delivered on the quality everyone told me Honda stands behind. I get that the newly released new Honda Civic Touring could have problems, but eight months is way too long to address these problems. Now I can only hope this car is fixed. My trust level has been diminished, and I am not sure when it will be restored. I have been extremely patient, but if anything goes wrong at this point, I will ask Honda to buy back the vehicle.

I purchased the touring Honda Civic to have the technology I was interested in at the time. From day two of ownership, the sound system which includes the navigation system has not worked consistently. It has been determined that either new software must be developed, or a new unit provided by the supplier. That was over two months ago, and I am still waiting. Another problem is the car experiences mild surges when traveling at a constant speed above 50. This may or may not be linked to the other problem, but at this time it is a wait and see experience. I absolutely love the car, and would have provided much higher ratings if this two problems were corrected.

Not only does it drive more like a sports car, I can count on the Honda reliability for the road trips, and know that I will be able to get it serviced or fixed if that becomes a necessity on my road trips. I bought the touring model, and it has everything I could want on a car.

The Civic is a reliable, fun-to-drive vehicle that gets great mileage, is comfortable and ergonomically sensible vehicle with an outstanding sound system. This is a car you won't mind spending an hour or more inside every day during your commute. On long trips, there's plenty of room for the luggage and the seats won't wear you out. Overall, the Civic Touring Edition I purchased is probably the best Honda I have owned -- and that includes seven Acura and Honda vehicles spanning from 1978-2016. This is a great car.
Some suggestions:
* Improve the remote start feature -- it is impossible to tell if it succeeded or failed from the key FOB.
* The ability to have presets for AM/FM stations AND Sirius/XM stations on the same row would be great.
* Add wireless Apple CarPlay into the next version of the terrific in-car system.
* The rear window of the Civic Touring Edition could probably use a rear wiper, as it tends to hold dirt/water (even using RainX.).

I love: turbo, performance, technology package, Apple CarPlay, digital speedometer, quiet interior but could be more quiet, premium look and feel of inside and out of the car.

Standard has no bass. Infotainment system has bugs and is slow! (Apple CarPlay works great). Honda sucks at making infotainment. Please let Apple have more control over this. Slight vibration when accelerating. I read Hondas new engines have an offset in the pistons that give it better MPG but makes more vibration. I would rather have it be vibration free. Or maybe this is due to the CVT? I have driven a Toyota Prius, and it has a CVT and u did not feel vibrations.

Phone comparability with the 2016 Honda's is a huge problem. This is Honda #5 for me and past Honda's with Bluetooth had no problem connecting and staying connected. Honda has no right to tell me after I lease the car that I now need a new phone to work with the car. The dealers are unaware or not communicating to the consumers that the phone connectivity an issue. Which of they know I would guess is purposely as it would greatly affect a buyer's decision.

The internet is full of people complaining that their phones do not stay connected to their new Honda. This is very basic technology, and Honda's needs to make it right and recall these cars. Using your phone on your car is a necessity these days and Honda is failing with the latest models.

"For city driving, this is a nice feature"

The was purchased by my daughter under my direction. We loved the new turbo. It brought excitement to a great brand. The outside design is what hooked my daughter. She bought the civic because she had owned one before but the engine was a dog (2012-but I didn't care for a college kid). I bought it for low costs, reliability and safety. The most important features to her were the USB ports, sunroof. The features that I liked was the power from turbo but still maintain good gas mileage. Second, I like the new braking features at a stop where you can take foot off. For city driving, this is a nice feature.

"The infotainment system hard to program and bluetooth is especially difficult"

The rear windows seem to fog up year round. Car drives and feels great. Bluetooth system is difficult and seems to lose phone numbers entered. Gas mileage is pretty much as advertised. The engine power is sufficient. The rear brake light housing is flimsy and stuck to the back window with velcro, not very sturdy. Variable speed wipers would be nice. The infotainment system hard to program and bluetooth is especially difficult.
